“PHILIDOR and CHESS, the Master and the Game, are destined to be coeval; and if the combination of  practice constitute perfection of character, surely the universally acknowledged celebrity of Mr. Philidor, both as a composer of the best Treatise that ever was written on the most scientific of Games, and as the best Player of it, justly entitles him to this pre-eminence (...)”
